Ye Wanhe slowly closed her eyes and used up her last bit of strength to say, "Your Highness, I can...I can leave the palace now...My funeral will be simple...no need for extravagance. I want to be buried in peace as soon as possible and be with our first child."
Zhao Yun hugged Ye Wanhe tightly, and he could no longer control his tears, which fell drop by drop.
It fell on Ye Wanhe's face.
"Wanhe, you'll be fine, you'll be fine. Someone, quickly call the imperial physician."
"Here it comes, Your Highness, the imperial physician is here."
Li Quan ran to bring the imperial physician.
When the imperial physician came and saw Ye Wanhe lying in Zhao Yun's arms with a dagger stuck in her abdomen, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The imperial physician wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, knelt on the ground, and waited for the palace maid to put the handkerchief on Ye Wanhe's wrist to take her pulse.
After taking the pulse, the imperial physician said tremblingly, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has passed away."
Zhao Yun glared at the imperial physician and said, "Take Wan He's pulse carefully. How could Wan He possibly have passed away? How is that possible?"
The imperial physician looked at the dagger in Ye Wanhe's abdomen and said, "Your Highness, please place the Crown Princess on the small couch first. I will ask the female physician to remove the dagger from her abdomen."
Zhao Yun picked up Ye Wanhe and placed her on the small couch with heavy steps.
The female doctor stepped forward, gave the wound an acupuncture needle, pulled out the dagger, sprinkled hemostatic medicine on the wound, and bandaged it.
Zhao Yun looked at Ye Wanhe lying motionless on the small couch. He felt a sharp pain in his head, a throbbing pain in his heart, and pain all over his body. "Her wound has stopped bleeding. When will she wake up?"
The doctor knelt down tremblingly and said, "Your Highness... The Crown Princess has no pulse or breathing. She has passed away. Please accept my condolences."
Zhao Yun shouted angrily, "Get lost! Get someone with better medical skills. Li Quan, go to the Princess's residence now and ask the Princess to come and diagnose the Crown Princess's pulse."
"Yes." Li Quan responded quickly and left the East Palace in a hurry.
Zhao Yun sat down in front of the small couch and held the breathless Ye Wanhe in his arms. "You won't leave me like this, Wanhe, wake up, wake up quickly. Auntie is a very good doctor. She also has the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill. She can wake you up."
As Zhao Yun spoke, his fingers stroked across Ye Wanhe's cheek, his voice choked with sobs.
Zhao Yun endured the pain all over his body and silently hugged Ye Wanhe tightly.
In the East Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs all knelt on the ground, and no one dared to breathe.
Until Li Quan came with the eldest princess.
Yun Xiangye followed Xie Zhixuan inside and saw Ye Wanhe in Zhao Yun's arms. She quickly covered her lips with her hands and shed tears: "Sister, sister..."
Xie Zhixuan stepped forward and checked Ye Wanhe's wound.
Zhao Yun looked at Xie Zhixuan with tears in her eyes and said, "Aunt, Wanhe is okay, right? She will wake up, right?"
Xie Zhixuan looked at the tears in Zhao Yun's eyes, then at Ye Wanhe, who was wearing her wedding dress in his arms, and said, "She's already dead. She can't be saved."
"Aunt, is the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill useless?"
Xie Zhixuan said, "The Resurrection Pill can only bring someone back from the brink of death, but it can't bring the dead back to life. Her injuries are too severe and there's no cure. I'm so sorry."
Zhao Yun looked helplessly at Ye Wanhe in his arms, "Why...why was she fine this morning...but she wanted to commit suicide..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe's wedding dress with a hole in her abdomen, a pool of dark red blood, and cried, "Sister He, Sister, how could you commit suicide just because His Highness betrayed you? What would your uncle and aunt do?"
Zhao Yun looked at Yun Xiangye and asked, "What betrayal?"
Yun Xiangye bit her lip and said, "You dare not admit it? Do you know why my sister is so angry today that her lower abdomen hurts? It's because Yu Xihe and Miaomiao came to her today and said that you and Yu Xihe spent a night together in Yongxing City, and you betrayed me."
Zhao Yun realized it later, "I didn't do anything to Yu Xihe at all. Why didn't Wanhe listen to my explanation?"
Zhao Yun thought about it carefully and admitted it. He didn't make any excuses, but just said, "So what..."
At that time, he didn't know that Ye Wanhe would misunderstand that he had favored Yu Xihe.
Zhao Yun fell into deep regret. He frowned and hugged Ye Wanhe tightly in his arms, "Wanhe, it's not what you think. I only have you, only you."
"It's not worth it for you to commit suicide for this matter, Wanhe, I didn't betray you."
Yun Xiangye cried, "This is just the last straw that broke the camel's back. My sister's death was caused by you forcing and humiliating her time and time again!
You clearly know what your sister wants. She wants to be herself honestly, not the daughter of the Wei family. She never thought of being Wei Zhenzhu from the beginning. It is you who made her bear the crime of being unfilial and unkind.
The Great Sheng ruled the world with filial piety, and she was being pointed at and accused of being unfilial and unkind in the East Palace. How could she continue to live with such dignity?
Yun Xiangye said emotionally, "It's all your fault! You killed my sister! It's so pitiful that my sister couldn't return home until her death."
Zhao Yun let Yun Xiangye accuse him, his eyes filled with regret and self-hatred. He hated himself for not noticing something was wrong with Ye Wanhe earlier, for not taking precautions...
Zhao Yun felt as if his whole body was broken into pieces, and he fainted from the pain.
"Your Highness."
"Yun'er."
Xie Zhixuan stepped forward to support Zhao Yun and inserted the silver needle into Zhao Yun's acupuncture points.
Zhao Yun slowly woke up, tears welling in his eyes as he said, "Aunt, you all go out. I want to be alone with Wan He."
